Raspberry jam hue, medium body and Pleasant pie cherry fragrance. A little hot sensation on the tongue and throat. Tastes of chocolate flavored cherries. A nicely crafted wine.

Served blind. Deep ruby scarlet. Rich plummy merlot with a candied apple finish. I’d drink up, while it’s still so tasty. I fear this may just get more disjointed with time.

Howell Mountain Spring Wine Trade Tasting. Nose of dark fruit, rich, sweet, with dusty earth, more of the same on the palate, big, intense, tasty, long finish, $65 Retail, same price as 2 years ago.

Very lush and ripe dark berry flavors at the end -too much so considering the tannin and acidity level. After 90 minutes in the decanter it was much improved though.

Tasting notes are spot on, merlot disguised as a big cab.

Deep purple.
Ripe easy, classy merlot, with enough restraint to keep this very interesting.
I’d drink now, I can’t imagine this getting even better

I love this wine. Good to drink right out of the bottle. No burn.

Big merlot, still needs several more years of bottle time to smooth out and come together.

Deep magenta scarlet. Ripe sweet cherry tobacco flavors with enough restraint to keep it interesting. Nice
